    Abstract Acute liver failure is a rare but important clinical syndrome, with a high mortality rate. Prompt recognition, appropriate management and early referral to a liver transplant centre can lead to good outcomes in these critically unwell patients. This article gives an overview of the key clinical challenges and optimal management of patients with acute liver failure. Acute liver failure is defined and a comprehensive list of aetiologies and suggested investigations is provided. The clinical challenges of sepsis, renal impairment, coagulopathy, hypoglycaemia, haemodynamic instability and cerebral oedema are discussed. Quadruple H therapy, a combination of therapies aimed to reduce cerebral oedema in acute liver failure, is described. A systemic guide to managing patients with acute liver failure is provided, as are indications for referral to a liver transplant centre.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Hyperammonaemia is almost always develops in patients with severe liver failure and this remains the commonest cause of elevated ammonia concentrations in the ICU. Nonhepatic hyperammonaemia in ICU presents diagnostic and management challenges for treating clinicians. Nutritional and metabolic factors play an important role in the cause and management of these complex disorders.
    Recent findings: Nonhepatic hyperammonaemia causes such as drugs, infection and inborn errors of metabolism may be unfamiliar to clinicians and risk being overlooked. Although cirrhotic patients may tolerate marked elevations in ammonia, other causes of acute severe hyperammonaemia may result in fatal cerebral oedema. Any coma of unclear cause should prompt urgent measurement of ammonia and severe elevations warrant immediate protective measures as well as treatments such as renal replacement therapy to avoid life-threatening neurological injury.
    Summary: The current review explores important clinical considerations, the approach to testing and key treatment principles that may prevent progressive neurological damage and improve outcomes for patients with hyperammonaemia, especially from nonhepatic causes.

    Abstract Introduction: Liver failure is a life-threatening condition characterized by the accumulation of metabolic toxins. Extracorporeal albumin dialysis (ECAD) has been promoted as a possible therapy.
    Methods: We employed bibliometric analysis to scrutinize the conceptual, intellectual, and social structure of the ECAD literature including its co-citation network and thematic analysis to explore its evolution and organization.
    Results: We identified 784 documents with a mean of 30.25 citations per document in a corpus of 15,191 references. The average citation rate peaked in 1998 at 280.75 citations/year before a second 2013 peak of 54.81 citations/year and then progressively decreased to its nadir in 2022 (1.48 yearly citations). We identified four primary co-citation clusters, with the most impactful publications being small "positive" manuscripts by Mitzner et al. (2000) and Heemann et al. (2002) (Cluster 1). This first cluster had several relational citations with clusters 2 and 3, but almost no citation link with cluster 4 represented by Bañares et al. (2013), Saliba et al. (2013), and Larsen et al. (2016), with their three negative randomized controlled trials. Finally, the thematic map revealed a shift in focus over time, with inflammation and ammonia as recent emergent themes.
    Conclusions: This bibliometric analysis provided a transparent and reproducible longitudinal assessment of ECAD literature and demonstrated how positive studies with low levels of evidence can dominate a research field and overshadow negative findings from higher quality studies. These insights hold significant implications for future research and clinical practice within this domain.

    Abstract Midodrine is a peripherally acting, oral α-agonist that is increasingly used in intensive care units despite conflicting evidence for its effectiveness. It has pharmacological effects on blood vessels as well as pupillary, cardiac, renal, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, lymphatic and skin tissue. It has approval for use as a treatment for orthostatic hypotension, but a surge in interest over the past decade has prompted its use for a growing number of off-label indications. In critically ill patients, midodrine has been used as either an adjunctive oral therapy to wean vasoplegic patients off low dose intravenous vasopressor infusions, or as an oral vasopressor agent to prevent or minimise the need for intravenous infusion. Clinical trials have mostly focused on midodrine as an intravenous vasopressor weaning agent. Early retrospective studies supported its use for this indication, but more recent randomised controlled trials have largely refuted this practice. Key questions remain on its role in managing critically ill patients before intensive care admission, during intensive care stay, and following discharge. This narrative review presents a comprehensive overview of midodrine use for the critical care physician and highlights why lingering questions around ideal patient selection, dosing, timing of initiation, and efficacy of midodrine for critically ill patients remain unanswered.
